LA Corp to Seek Navigating Program
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires state health care exchanges to establish a “navigator” program that will help people who are eligible to purchase coverage through the exchange learn about their new coverage options and enroll. States will award grants to entities that will provide these services. The Living Affected Corporation will be monitoring the development of the the exchanges and the subsequent "navigator" outgrowth that will engage approved locally based organization to source training and hire educators. Chief Operating Officer, Cornelius Mabin believe that the Living Affected should focus on being prepared to participate in this unique opportunity to play a role as experts in the field of HIV and AIDS as well as other co-morbidity's being covered by the act. "We should definitely position our agency to be among those who bring a culturally competency to this chronic disease meanwhile ramping up our knowledge base of how the program will unfold." said Mabin.
Continuing, "It makes perfect sense that as a agency that also has "social determinants" as apart of it organizational silos, that we make the continue to connect our allies and resources in the process."
Navigators will play a critical role in ensuring that Arkansas residents have every available opportunity to benefit from the full implementation of the ACA in the state. Currently, thousands of uninsured or under-insured people with HIV obtain health care from the Ryan White Program and the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) in Arkansas.
As a result of health care implementation the health care landscape for people living with HIV will change in Arkansas, it’s estimated that a significant percentage of current ADAP clients will be eligible for insurance subsidies to buy health care coverage on the exchange and a even higher percentage who fall in the Federal Poverty guidelines will be eligible for Medicaid under its expansion. LA Corp is seeking applicants for position within its current programming and impending 2013 calendar.
